“You know what I’m tired of? People who go into detail about their ethnicity and nationality. I don’t give a f***k what you are. People who go into detail, like, ‘I’m half-German, a quarter-Irish, part-Navaho Indian.’ You’re f*****g white! Just say white! I ran into a girl today, she was like, ‘I’m half-Chinese, half-Mexican.’ You’re Filipino. Just say Filipino!” — Bobby Lee at The Laugh Factory
